We'd love to host your department meeting or event. The Surrey's first floor can be reserved for meetings and events internally through EMS up to one year in advance.

Event specifics are subject to approval and must be discussed with the Conferences and Events team in advance to determine appropriate use of the facilities and campus resources. Special setups of the furniture are limited in nature to preserve the integrity of the space. Maximum occupancy for entire first floor cannot exceed 100 (including standing room). Please note that the inn remains locked, except during scheduled meeting or events.

Events involving food must be catered by Skidmore Dining Services. Use of outside caterers is strictly prohibited. No food is permitted to be brought in. To serve alcoholic beverages, a minimum of 30 days' notice is required to secure proper permitting.

Guest rooms for those doing business with the College are given priority during the academic year. However, alumni, faculty/staff and family of students/faculty/staff are welcome to stay at the Surrey as space allows. Guests not doing business with the college will be charged sales and occupancy tax and must pay by credit card.

Event Priority is given to Skidmore College organizations and activities weekdays during the academic year; however, we welcome private, non–college-related events (i.e. Skidmore community member may book the Surrey for personal events), based on availability.

Event rental fees for personal, non-college-related events for Skidmore employees may be discounted up to 50% (exclusions apply).

Surrey will be blocked for the following major college events
